FaceTime's Application Database Acquisition Highlights Need for Web 2.0 Control and Security

Acquisition of market-leading application signature database strengthens Check Point's network security leadership

BELMONT, California, November 23 - FaceTime Communications, today announced that Check Point Software
Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP) has acquired its market leading application
classification and signature database to add a new level of security for use
in Check Point Security Gateways. Check Point's purchase of the database
validates the need for businesses to implement Web 2.0 controls and security.

"In adding this capability to our product line, we researched the market
- and identified FaceTime's application database as the market leader," said
Bill Bailey, vice president of corporate and business development of Check
Point. "Incorporation of the purchased database will provide businesses
unparalleled granular control over application usage."

"Check Point's purchase of our database reaffirms FaceTime's leadership
in the Web 2.0 and application security market," said Kailash Ambwani,
president and chief executive officer at FaceTime Communications. "With
people and businesses interacting more than ever online the need for Internet
application security is essential to protecting corporate networks."

FaceTime incorporates the database in its recently announced Unified
Security Gateway 3.0 - the first secure Web gateway to combine content
monitoring, logging, management and security of Web 2.0 applications, such as
social networking, instant messaging, and Unified Communications, with URL
filtering, anti-malware and Web anti-virus protection.

The momentous growth of Web 2.0 platforms and the benefits gained through
their use introduces significant new compliance and policy challenges.
Government agencies and corporations worry about sensitive information
leaking out over Twitter or Facebook and organizations now face new rules,
from regulatory bodies such as FINRA, specifically relating to content posted
to social networks.

"Here at the West Virginia Department for Education, our issues with
Facebook and Myspace are twofold, first the malware propagation issue, and
secondly, if we allow access to this type of site, I'd be concerned with
people just "hanging out" all day," says Jim Daniels, Network Administrator
"USG gives us the ability to allow access to the parts of Facebook - our
groups for instance - and the applets we want them to have access to, without
compromising productivity"

"The growth in corporate use of Web 2.0 applications and in the number of
different applications being used makes compliance with legal and regulatory
obligations incredibly important", said Michael Osterman, principal of
Osterman Research. "Our research has shown that a large and growing
proportion of corporate users are using Web 2.0 tools on a regular basis.
Consequently, organizations must control how these tools are used and the
information that is transmitted through them or face significant consequences
for not doing so."
